He said: "Coming to America was like landing on the moon. What a strange place! Everywhere there was noise and everything was large: the people, the cars, the houses, everything. And fast. Everyone was running fast and driving fast. I learned that they ran because they spent so much time in their car and since the food was also large, they had to run to burn off the fat. The ones who didn't run fast soon became like a sausage. The large cars and trucks and the large people running made a lot of noise. I was used to quiet in Georgia, except when Russia made war on us. I had read a lot about America, of course. I learned also from the many movies that in American everything was possible. A person like myself could do anything, be successful at anything. And that has been the case as long as I don't stop running fast."
